pink-slips- not the pretty kind...

it has been awhile since i visited this space, not good for keeping up a really sad hit-counter-

the economy is mess- the mister was pink slipped for the coming year...it isn't permanent until May, so we will see. missus could be back full-time, and that is okay...what isn't okay- is attempting balance the budget on the backs of kids and teachers while the federal gov't bails out multimillionaires...

today is the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq- we are almost to 4000 dead Americans. it makes me sad in a way I can't articulate.

it is also the anniversary of the day i lost my aunt and godmother- i miss her every day. she was such a reader and she taught me to play cribbage- i adored her!

even with all that is so topsy turvy in this world- we are healthy, we have a plan for lean times and my two youngest are reading together on the couch- we are so blessed!
